Marcus Claudius Erraticus (c. 80, 90 or 100 AD -- after 150, 155 or 161) was a Roman historian who started and stopped several books on the founding of Rome, the emperors and moral life. In his extant works, he fluctuates wildly from proud and sexually charged praise of the emperors to bitter condemnation of their clothing, lifestyle and breath. Erraticus also describes several of Caesar's battles as "earth-shattering victories" and "horrific defeats," often in the same sentence.
